Welcome home!

My hollow "Koabra" has landed!

I'm loving my Atom but the T body shape is just "home" for me- the body and solid RW neck feels great to hold, play and it just resonates beautifully!

Mucho thanks again to Tom, his great team and Brian H for making this one happen!

Thanks mdrs! The rosewood neck is killer- this may the last guitar I order for
a while ( yeah right :rolleyes: ) so I went ahead and splurged on the RW neck and so glad I did. I just feels so nice and I think it tonally compliments the koa/hollow/mahog wood combination.

Regarding the serial#, if a date is not already taken when ordering a spec guitar, you can request for a
custom date, ie. bday, anniversary etc. In this case, "Happy Advanced B-day" to me! :D

I think this small custom detail is such a generous feature that Tom allows :cool:

Id love to try a sound clip when I can ever make one worthy of posting.... otherwise Im afraid that posting one of my hack playing may be detrimental to Anderson sales :o

[markus]

VERY NICE guitar Encrico!!! What a beautiful Koa Top!!! Really Stunning!!!
Congrats!


12-09-09E??? :eek: Ha!!! My Classic that I just got back in March has 12-09-08S as the Serial Number, which is the actual birthday of our little daughter! :) :) :)
It's indeed a great and generous feature that Tom allows!!!

Here are two pics... one of our daughter on December 9th '08 and the new Classic with her birthday Serial#. ;)

That picture is priceless ** I encourage you sell a limb before you consider selling either one of them **

However, if you must, I call dibs on them ;) ;) ;)

Markus, did you mean SDs on those single coils??? How do you like the HN3+?

03-17-09O - Candy Apple Red Classic


Thanks Mike!

Hey, your sig list looks like it grew... When did that custom serial "03-17-09O" sneak in there?! ;) :cool:

I think you owe us some updated pics! :D

[markus]

Markus, did you mean SDs on those single coils??? How do you like the HN3+?

Nope, I have SFs in there and they sound GREAT!
As for the HN3+... :D I absolutely love it!!! For the type of music I play the "Flamethrower" as they also call it, is just the right thing to have in the bridge position! Here's a link to some YouTube footage of our last show if you want to take a listen: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=B7C47D35CCB8273D. I'm playing straight into a Genz Benz Diablo100 - which was the house amp I had to use that night...

[tom]

congrats on your latest addition markus. that's a great smile you have there.

Thanks so much Tom! It was an absolutely unbelievable day! I couldn't stop smiling... and still can't! :)
And, believe it or not, little Anika already knows you also! :eek: :confused: There's a large framed picture of you holding another very special guitar in our office and she loves locking at it... she knows you as "Uncle Tom"! :D

E, very observant! I felt it was getting a little ridiculous posting pix every 6 mos, and coming off as braggin' (as if posting the serial #'s in your sig isn't :))....so just layin' low for now! She's a beaut though...:D :p

I know this is Enrico's thread and I hesitate to hijack his beautiful Koa guitar thread (and, man, those are GREAT looking), but...

Hey Markus, really nice vids (the intros are fun too). I like the Soundgarden meets STP sorta thing ya'll have going on. I think your choice to fill in the "solo" breaks with arpeggiated notes rather then an over-abundance of single note wanking (which, I'm afraid, is a habit I all too often fall back in to) is a nice way to go, especially in a three piece. Good solid drummer and very talented singer/bassist too. Also nice alternative to three chord power trio stuff...much more creative, original and interesting. Well done.

Thanks so much for your nice words! :) Glad you dig on our tunes - I like your "Soundgarden meets STP" comparison! That is high praise! :eek: :)
Glad also you liked my cheesy intros to the videos! Clearly I had too much time on my hands when I edited the vids!!! :D :D :D
As for soloing, I strongly believe that a guitar solo should always try to serve the bigger construct of the song, not the other way around. Sometimes you'll hear me noodle around a bit (like in "If I told you" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pVdcCCeG_4) or "Frozen in time (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHejtDkv2nw&feature=PlayList&p=B7C47D35CCB8273D&index=1)" at the end), but sometimes the bass player/singer and I decide that there simply isn't any room for a shred solo in a song and I find something else to play. That's one of the great things about playing in a three piece... you have a lot of room as a guitarist.

Anyway, thanks for the nice words again... I'll pass them on to Brandon (bass/vocals) and Bryan (drums) and sorry again Enrico we hijacked your thread. :eek: :) We didn't mean to...

[enr1co]

and sorry again Enrico we hijacked your thread. :eek: :) We didn't mean to...

No worries about hijacking the thread- you can only oooh-aahhh koa so much ;) It was fun to discover our special interest with December 9th
and provide opportunity to show off your beautiful little girl. We've a
7 yr old daughter and your photo just reminded me how fast they grow :)

Thanks much for sharing your playing and video clips - great sounding band!

[akivisuals]

Wow Enrico. That's a dream Anderson there! Exactly what I'd order if I could. Where did you find that amazing set of Koa?
